Ian Collings: The Out There is Right Here | June 6 - August 29, 2026

The Out There is Right Here is an exhibition of new works by Ian Collings in conversation with historic works by JB Blunk, Gordon Onslow Ford, and John Anderson. Collings sourced stone locally while staying and working at the Blunk House, Blunk’s hand-built home and studio in Inverness, California. In the 1950s and ’60s, Blunk was part of a constellation of artists surrounding British Surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford on his property, the Bishop Pine Preserve.

Though working across stone, wood, ceramic, and painting, these artists coalesced around intuitive mark-making, Eastern philosophy, and a deep integration with the land of West Marin. Drawing on this ethos, Collings has created five functional stone works, two stone and wood sculptures, and is debuting five sculptural wall-mounted wood works, alongside a selection of smaller stone objects. A selection of historic paintings by Blunk, Onslow Ford, and Anderson further grounds Collings’ new works in the material spirit of West Marin.
